Apex Tools Group Llc T7670659 Wire Rope Thimble 1/2 in

Product Description

The APEX TOOLS GROUP LLC T7670659 is a 1/2 inch wire rope thimble with an electro galvanized finish, designed to protect wire rope loops from wear and deformation at termination points. The thimble fits inside a spliced or swaged eye in wire rope, distributing load stress evenly across the bend and extending the service life of the assembly. Sold in bulk packs of 5 units, this thimble suits rigging, lifting, and tie-down applications where a secure, long-lasting wire rope termination is required. Installers in construction, marine, utility, and industrial maintenance trades rely on this type of fitting as a standard component in wire rope rigging assemblies.

This thimble is used in residential and commercial rigging setups, including overhead lifting rigs, guy wire anchoring, cable railings, and load-securing applications. It is installed at the eye end of a wire rope assembly before the loop is closed with a swage sleeve, cable clip, or mechanical splice. The electro galvanized coating provides corrosion resistance for general outdoor and light marine environments. Tradespeople assembling wire rope systems install these as a routine step before final termination hardware is applied.

Key Features

• Fits 1/2 inch wire rope diameter for proper loop support at termination points
• Electro galvanized finish for corrosion resistance in outdoor and light-duty wet environments
• Bulk pack of 5 units for job-site or shop stocking convenience
• Groove profile protects wire rope strands from sharp-bend fatigue and abrasion
• Sold individually by the package, unit of measure is each (EA)

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard rigging component for use with 1/2 inch wire rope assemblies requiring thimble-supported eye terminations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified rigging or construction tradespeople following applicable ASME B30 rigging standards and local safety codes. Before installing, ensure all tension is released from the wire rope assembly. The thimble should be seated fully in the rope eye before applying swage sleeves or cable clips; never use a thimble as a load-bearing component without proper termination hardware securing the loop. Inspect the thimble for deformation or coating damage before placing the assembly into service.
